in not too many words, i've been going through a rough time lately and reading drop out every week helps to take the edge off. i've found myself relating a lot, it's sort of a cathartic read. i also love the technical and emotional depth of your artwork. keep doing what you're doing, because i really appreciate it.

SUGAR IS SUCH A NASTY HYPOCRITE GOD... is she supposed to be coming off that way? i've realized i've wanted lola to get away from her ever since the scene where she went to go get her drugs (i was hoping she was trying to leave though i knew she wouldn't be able to do so yet) but since this is a love story i don't know if we're supposed to be feeling like that.

she's not supposed to come off as a bad person, but people probably not liking her was something i already accounted for, given the way she acts.
i don't know if i'd use the word hypocrite, but she does have conflicting values and wants, which is on purpose, and is only emphasized by the fact that she's driven by a lot of swinging emotions that were, for a long time for her, dulled or muted by medication.
if you want to elaborate more, maybe i can explain, or understand, though.

I don't see her as nasty, i see her as confused and struggling. As someone with far too many conflicting emotions inside of her and she just has trouble processing them, which results in these sort of reactions.

i relate so much to sugar here, it kinda hurts but it speaks volumes for your storytelling ability and how well you create realistic characters. not even to speak of your artistic skill, the colors and expressions have always been some amazing stuff

I don't know how important it is to you (the author), but thank you for portraying this in such a genuine way. It's always good to not feel alone in having such a dark and sometimes uncontrollable emotion.
